Usage

add_hexagon_layer(deckgl, id = "hexagon-layer", data = NULL,
  properties = list(), ...)

Arguments

deckgl

deckgl widget

id

id of the layer

data

url to fetch data from or data object

properties

named list of properties with names corresponding to the properties defined in the deckgl-api-reference for the given layer class, additionally there is a getTooltip property (callback) showing a tooltip when the mouse enters an object, e. g. getTooltip = JS("object => object.name")

...
